Traveling is my passion, as it is talking to people to share stories and emotions. After spending 10 years working and traveling across Europe I eventually decided to come back to Sicily. Why? Goethe once wrote "Without Sicily, Italy creates no image in the soul: here is the key to everything". Sicily is a land of emotions: wonderful art, ancient history, delicious food and breathtaking views. As different travelers have different interests, I love to tailor-make the tours according to what travelers are willing to experience, so that to turn each tour into a truly, unforgettable experience. Any tour with me is hence more than just a tour, so please do not hesitate to contact me should you either want to make any changes to a tour I offer or to inquiry about a tour that you have in mind and want me to help organize it for you. I would love to make your dreams come true! I provide tours in French and Russian with my wife, as she is Russian and teaches French.

Overview of your Palermo tour

IMPORTANT NOTICE: the research takes from 1 to 3 months, sometimes longer, and the rate may vary according to the number of ancestors and the type of research involved. Please contact me before booking to make sure there is enough time and to confirm the rate. I will give you a unique experience in the land of your ancestors and I will be very happy to get in return your good emotions! This is a very special tour for those who have Sicilian or Italian heritage! I have been running this experience for several years, knowing not only Sicily and how to organize an heritage tour, but especially what it takes to get the relevant data from the various offices in Sicily in order to collect and provide all the necessary information to make your dream come true: connecting to your Sicilian roots. This is not just a tour, it is also about feeling your roots and what being a Sicilian really means!

A special experience, tailor-made to your requests. I need the following information: - names - place of birth in Sicily or Italy - date of birth - any other relevant information.

No worries about the language divide, I will translate for you! This research may incur in extra costs.
